Gil Vicente, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Paços de Ferreira will not have sat easily with the Gil Vicente squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Paços de Ferreira who had 21 attempts and 8 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Daniel Sousa will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 league games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Gil Vicente, Fran Navarro will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Arouca, Recent FormArmando Evangelista will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 home thrashing at the hands of Benfica. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Benfica's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 4 draws in 8 away league games.
Oday Dabbagh will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Arouca.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for Arouca.
Arouquenses will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 9 encounters with Gil Vicente. Gilistas have struggled to break down the Arouca defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Arouca has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Gil Vicente in 9 games.
